GriefShare Ministry Beginning at FBCVA

GriefShare is a biblically-based program designed to minister to the long-lasting, persistent needs of those people who have lost a loved one through death. GriefShare is a seminar/small group program. GriefShare ministry will begin on Wednesday morning, November 5th, at 9:30 A.M. in the FBCVA portables. The meetings will be held each Wednesday morning for 13 weeks taught by Jack Washington. Each weekly session is designed to be self-contained, so if you have to miss a weekly session during the 13 week period, it is all right. The 13 week video based program features respected Christian experts sharing their insight and wisdom on topics important to people in grief. The GriefShare program also includes personal testimonies from people who have lost a loved one. Each person attending will have a workbook which will directly correspond to the video seminars with a note-taking outline for each video session, a daily Bible study on topics introduced on the videos, and a weekly journaling section. GriefShare is available to anyone at FBCVA and also open to the public. Free child care will be provided. All are welcome so please come and join us.

If you, or someone you know is interested, please visit the GriefShare page on our website, or contact the FBCVA office at 903-482-6334.
